Given a PropertyInfo object, how can I check that the setter of the property is public?
See Question&Answers more detail:osGiven a PropertyInfo object, how can I check that the setter of the property is public?
See Question&Answers more detail:osCheck what you get back from GetSetMethod
:
MethodInfo setMethod = propInfo.GetSetMethod();
if (setMethod == null)
{
// The setter doesn't exist or isn't public.
}
Or, to put a different spin on Richard's answer:
if (propInfo.CanWrite && propInfo.GetSetMethod(/*nonPublic*/ true).IsPublic)
{
// The setter exists and is public.
}
Note that if all you want to do is set a property as long as it has a setter, you don't actually have to care whether the setter is public. You can just use it, public or private:
// This will give you the setter, whatever its accessibility,
// assuming it exists.
MethodInfo setter = propInfo.GetSetMethod(/*nonPublic*/ true);
if (setter != null)
{
// Just be aware that you're kind of being sneaky here.
setter.Invoke(target, new object[] { value });
}
